As I’ve said before, they have been on my mind for years.<\/p>\n

\"holes<\/a><\/p>\n

This couple of samples\u00a0was cropped from a pic I took of several samples back in 2006.\u00a0 Hand cut black leather and punched gold leather – I know I had some big plan for this but the constant use of a leather punch leads to tired hands and arms, and I dropped the plan.\u00a0 \u00a0 A change of scale, though, and change of material… well there’s a lot of potential for both ideas.<\/p>\n

\"hole<\/a><\/p>\n

And these sample snippets are from this afternoon’s experiments – grey nylon organza bonded onto the cream canvas – sure, the pic’s a bit dull but I know what it means.\u00a0 Down in the LH side are some triangular shapes bonded on of course but then hand stitched in various ways with several threads including metallic.\u00a0 I keep thinking of how people only repair precious objects, and ‘mending’ is a frequently used motif these days in mixed media and textile works – but I hope\u00a0I can use ‘mending’ in a non clich\u00e9 way – I’m working on it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"square<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t think it’s just the bold contrast why I like this little sample- approx. 4cm x 4cm\u00a0suede leather piece, with a smaller square cut and rotated – those holes are\u00a0smallest\u00a0done by the leather punch I have.\u00a0 There’s no way I could do something\u00a0 with masses of these squares of leather – oh for a laser cutter here!\u00a0 But,\u00a0perhaps another material … this idea has lingered in my mind since 2006, too.<\/p>\n
